I can say my bf is my best friend. Even if I wasnt in love with him I would love doing all the things we do together...bike riding, swimming and working on stuff. He is a great guy.

I have other best friends but I actually dont have as much in common with them as I do my bf...guess thats why hes my bf, haha. duh.

My ex is my best friend. Ex-wife, that is.

I would describe my partner as my best friend, but that doesn't mean too much. I don't get everything I need from my partner; my other friends fill in the missing gaps. The same goes for him; I know I'm not everything he needs, nor do I want to be. I want to be me

zdrew saidMy ex is my best friend.

Yep. Me too. We were a couple for 17 years and we've been "divorced" for 7, but I still talk to him all the time and he's really the only person I can totally open up to.
Anytime something bad or good happens in my life, the very first person I call is my X...I'm fairly certain he feels and does the same thing....he's here on RealJock too.

Absolutely.

I've known my BF for 5 months and my best friend for 20 years.

Mine is and basically is my only real friend to be honest. I usually do everything with him and every once and a while I will hang out with others but generally I would rather be with him as often as possible..... for now at least lol.

I wonder if anyone feels that they can get everything from one person? My bf and I tell each other that we are each others everything and if he were the only person I had to see for the rest of my life I would be completely happy. But it does help to have others to talk to and do things with.

Sometimes its good to get advice from someone thats not emotionally involved in situations. (enters RJ, haha) And it helps you grow as a person to have others in your life I think.

I can tell that he acts a little different around his friends as well as I do...but I think its because we know we can really be ourselves with each other and we'll still love each other anyway, hahaha.

Yes, he is.

But that doesn't mean that we don't both have other very close friends who fulfill us in different ways.

Well, we're working on becoming best friends. That sounds terrible doesn't it? But it's like USM said earlier. I've been with my boyfriend for six years and there are friends I've had since I was 17 (in other words, before some of you were born!).

I have to work on opening up to my boyfriend more. There are definitely things I would tell my friends that I would have trouble telling my BF. It comes down to not wanting him to change how he sees me.

What what a question. Let's see if I can get through this without too many tears.

Dear God, Kelly is most certainly my best friend. The two of us have been through so much together in only five years. In 2005, I lost everything... first my job, then my house, then my health, and finally, I lost him. I was quite the selfish liar back then. He had good reason to throw me out.

I was in a downward spiral and every night before I went to bed, I would pray for him to forgive and love me again. It took a year, but he eventually did.

A job opened up in my field again- an even better job than I had- but it was 300 miles away from Dallas, here in Beaumont. It was hard, but I went ahead and moved, and we visited each other every weekend. He had a good job and couldn't move.

One day, he got fed up with that job. He quit and decided to move and be with me. There was initially no job for him here, but once he moved, a new opportunity appeared in only a few months. He doesn't make as much as he did in Dallas, but the job is satisfying.

Most of all, we get to be together here. We workout together, we have dinner together, we wake up together everyday. He made a big sacrifice to move to a small town, but it has made our lives together so much better.

I tell him everything, who I lust, who I'd like to share with him, what I want from him, what my worst fears are. He knows everything about me.

He is without any doubt my very best friend.

I love you Kelly (krmdallas)

Man oh man do I have some work to do!

In a word, yes. We do everything together. He is my soul mate and my love, but he is also my bff.

Without question, my partner is my best friend.

My partner, best friend, love of my life.

I have a few best friends and yes my boyfriend is one of them. He knows everything about me and I talk to him a couple times a day.

Yup.

Ditto.

-Doug and Bill

I think my bf is one of my best friends. Right now my world does revolve around him, and I definitely couldn't imagine being without him. But I feel that we're still in the new relationship mode (we'll be together one year on Sunday). We still have things to learn about each other.

Plus if he's my only best friend who am I going to vent to when he pisses me off?

I have to say that posts like BigSETXjock's give me something to look forward too.

Having not seen much of him due distance I feel yes he is becoming more of a best friend than a Lover boo hoo hoo

Absolutely...
My BF's have always been my best friends

My bf is my best friend. We have so much in common; interests, outlooks, and beliefs, it would be difficult to think of him otherwise. My sister runs a very close second.

I have some great friends that have been around a long long time. I have been with my bf for 7 months now, and he has become the person I see the most and do most things with. Its hard to say whether he is my best friend, but he is the one I do everything with and see the most of.

I can say with all certainty that my bf is also my best friend. He's wonderful. I also have another best friend who happens to be my last girlfriend from ages ago.

hmm tough cookie...
I have been blessed with a three beautifull people around me who know me inside and out for many years now. and i consider them my best friends.

My BF means the world to me and I feel very lucky he has found me. He knows me on levels my best friends don't.

But I wouldnt call him my best friend, as he is my partner and my love.

I think he would like that much more cause that means he's best friend with benefits !
